Bucknell's Malesardi Quad is the heart of campus. With its sweeping views of the Susquehanna River Valley and Appalachian Mountains, this is where our students have some of their most memorable experiences. As a first-year student, you’ll surround the Quad with your fellow Bucknellians as part of our traditional candlelighting ceremony to welcome new students to Bucknell. As seniors, you’ll pass over the Bucknell seal and through a crowd of 6,000 people on your way to receiving your diploma. And in between, the Quad will be a place to study, engage, converse, play and, sometimes, just sit back and relax.

Bertrand Library

Bertrand Library hums with activity day and night. You'll have access to computers, books, maps, journals, films, databases, special collections and digital equipment. Plus, there's a café so you can fuel up and stay focused on your work.

Uphill Campus and Freas Hall

Near the entrance to campus, you'll find this grassy hill overlooking the athletics and recreation facilities and the Elaine Langone Center, which is home to campus dining venues and student gathering spaces. You'll get a good workout going to and from the gym or cafeteria to your classes and residence hall.

Elaine Langone Center

This space on the ground floor of the Elaine Langone Center is a popular gathering spot where you can eat, study, collaborate, hang out and meet with faculty. Grab lunch at the Bison dining area next door, and sign up for student activities in the busy hallway.

Roberts, Trax and Kress Quad

These three residence halls serve as a campus "neighborhood" primarily for Bucknell sophomores. A new outdoor study and meeting space with benches and café tables was created in a 100-year-old grove of trees encircled by Roberts, Trax Hall, Kress Hall and the Carnegie Building.

A limited number of seniors can receive permission to live in downtown Lewisburg.
